Tathra and Victoria Bushfires – We are Responding

Dear friends,

We are responding to the Tathra bushfires where over 108 homes have been destroyed or damaged and responding to the Victoria bushfires where over 18 homes and other structures have also been destroyed. These figures are expected to rise.

We are planning to deploy with volunteers into these areas to help home owners in need of assistance during the recovery period. As a first step we are delivering Samaritan’s Purse Fire Recovery Kits. These are bags full of tools useful in the process of cleaning-up and searching for items of personal value that survived the fires.

Our Disaster Relief Unit (DRU) will be in position in Tathra to facilitate the work of our volunteers (see image below).

We would appreciate your financial partnership as we undertake to respond to these disasters simultaneously, helping in Jesus’ name.
